A PRIZE-WINNING Broadway photographer, who has scooped awards for his wedding pictures, has walked off with another prize - in a different field.
Kevin Smith, of Perrins Farm Studios, has won the Master Photographers Great Western Region Award for Under Fives Portraiture and was presented with his award by Gerry O'Leary, chairman of the Master Photographers' Association.
Kevin, who last year netted a host of awards including Cosmopolitan Bride magazine Wedding Photographer of the Year, said he was delighted with his latest triumph.
"Child portraiture is a new direction for us but an inevitable consequence. It's a natural progression.
"Anthea and I photograph a couple's wedding and very soon they are asking if we could photograph their babies and young families.
"It's a real privilege to be involved in such happy occasions - we love it."
Kevin, whose clients have included the former Poet Laureate Sir John Betjeman and jazz legend George Melly, will now be entering his images for the British Professional Photography Awards later this year.
